Micah Richards has raved about reported Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic on BBC Radio 5 Live.
The former Manchester City right-back believes that Vlahovic, linked with a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, is “lightning” and has a wand of a left foot.
The Fiorentina striker has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in the January transfer window.
Sport Mediaset reported this month that Arsenal have an offer of €80 million (£68.26 million) ready for the 21-year-old striker.
Praise for Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic
Richards said about Vlahovic: “I have watched him a couple of times now. He is lightning. It’s ridiculous. He has got 16 in 18 this season. His left foot is like a wand.”
The former Fiorentina loanee added: “I am telling you now, he is everything, he is everything you need.”
Blockbuster signing for Arsenal
In our opinion, Arsenal should do everything they can to sign Vlahovic in the January transfer window.
The striker would be an unbelievable signing for the Gunners, not just for now, but for years to come as well.
Vlahovic is one of the hottest properties in Europe and is banging in the goals for fun.
The Fiorentina star has scored 16 goals and provided two assists in 18 Serie A matches so far this season.
The youngster scored 21 goals and gave three assists in the league last season.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is out of form and out of the team at the moment.
And Alexandre Lacazette is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season.
So, in our view, signing a striker is a must for the Gunners, and Vlahovic would be a stunning recruitment for them.
